Commissioner Sparks in October issued q
very important order, which has never been
published except IN Walla Walla Washington,
which, II enforced, will cause panic through
out The entire Northwest and wherever public
lands are being located. This order was nd
dressed to special Agent A. S. Caldwell, on
| Oct "a. Caldwell was in Oregon investigating
some cases upon which he made report. The
commissions issued to Caldwell in the form Of
instructions what will prove to be the most
damaging and demoralizing decree he has yet
issued. It is explained In the following terms:
"You are informed that all conveyances or
agreements to sell or transfer pre- -emptions,
commuted homesteads, or other conditional
claims before patents are issued are In fraud
OF law, that the practice of executing power
OF sale or mortgages Is mere invasion of tho
prohibition against alienation, and that such
evasive mortgages, as well as conveyances, ara
fatal to the validity Of the entry. No legal
title or claim can pass or be secured by any
conveyance-whether by mortgage or other
wise-of land embraced IN the unpatented
homestead or pre-emption entries, and the
transferee or mortgagee of such claims cannot
De recognized in any manner as having any
right, interest, or claim upon such land. Tie
homestead act prohibits alienation before pat.
ent and section z, ,296, Revised statutes, making
void all incumbrances to secure debts con-
tracted prior to patent, applies to debts
contracted for the purpose Of paying for the
land, as we'll as debts contracted for any other
purpose. The pre-emptiOn law prohihits con-
Veyance or agreements to convey title, and
section 1908 makes all assignments and trans
lers before patent absolutely null aud void.
You should thoroughly investigate all com.
muted homesteads and presumption entries
and obtain all the facts respecting transfers
and agreements to transfer by any form OF
conveyance, whether by mortgage or other
wise, aud the connection with making or
procurement Of the entries of the parties furn-
ishlng or procuring the furnishing Of tho
money, as well rs other facts respecting tho
conduct OF tho entryman in the matter OF resi-
dence, improvement and cultivation, showing
tho bona ide or the fraudulent character Of
the entries. Registers and receivers and other
officers taking proofs shall closely question
and cross examine parties and witnesses rela.
tive to tho statements offered in their proofs.
and also whether entrymen have conveyed,
tranrferred, assigned, or mortgaged their
claims or land, or agreed or arranged TO do 80.
Yon will instruct all such officer, accordingly.
You will exercise especial vigilence In the
investigation Of all such transferred claims.
Respectfully, WILLIAH A. j, SpARKsn

A great sensation has been created in Paris
by speech just made by one Of the engineers
OF the country, pointing out that Of the l2O,OO0
persons employed in working the coal mines
Of France, $4,000 at the very least are men be.
tween 20 and 10 years Of age In the event Of
war being declared, and tlB army modified
all OF these men would be obliged to desert
their work and join then respective regiments,
The result would be that coal famine would
ensue at the very moment when immense
quantities would be required for the traffic
caused by the transportation Of troops. In
deed, taking into consideration that foreign
supplies would be cut of by the war, there
could be greater danger Of the transporta-
ton Of the troops coming to standstill at tho
most critical moment. Nobody appears to
have given the matter thought until now
and the thought monopolizes public attention.

In the case OF Thomas F. Woson, of Wash
ington territory, in which is involved the
question Of the rights Of settlers upon school
lands in the territories, Assistant Secretary
Mulrow has decided that under the acts grant
ing to the territories lands for school purposes,
where the land, at the date Of the survey, is
occupied by an actual settler, his right to the
land is superior to the territory; and that
where school lands, at the date Of the survey,
are occupied by an actual settler, the territory
is entitled to select equivalent lands in lieu
thereof, as indemnity, and having made such
selection, the indemnity land so selected is
held in reservation in lieu Of the school section
upon which such selection was made, and the
school section, by the act of such selection. is
released from reservation, and therefore an
entry Of school section, made while the So
lection Of equivalent land remained intact,

The absorbing interest of the Irish measures
has suffered other phases Of tho reform move
ment in England to drop out Of sight There
has been quietly debated In the house of CON-
mons recently a bill to abolish tho law Of
primogeniture. Under this law the landed
property of a man who dies intestate passes to
his eldest son. II there Is no personal prop
erty the other children get nothing. Tho lords
have passed bill providing when there Is no
will primoReniure shall not prevail. Tho
whole estate, real and personal, Is 10 be equally
divided. The bill is now pending In the COM
mons, and will pass without doubt.
The bill does not affect the law Of entail, by
which man may require his lands to pass in
each generation to the oldest son. But prim-
ogeniture once abolished, bill will soon fol-
low to do away with entail. The two main
props Of the English peerage will then have
been removed. The English aristocracy has
always been founded on the possession Of large
landed estates, and under the two laws In
question vast bodies of land in tho United
Kingdom have fallen into the hands iof q very
few individuals. A few generations will
suffice to melt up these great estates, and tho
peerage as aprivileged body will melt up with
them. Honorary titles may continue to pass
to the Oldest son. They will be harmless toys,
which will do very well to amuse old women
Of both sexes. But England to-day, as mat
ter Of fact, is a Democracy. Brains, aud not
birth, are the ruling force. Victoria wears tho
crown, but the house Of commons is King of
England. The last remnants Of feudal mo-
nopslies Of land and power are slipping away.
With home rule for Ireland there will soon be
local autonomy for Scotland, Wales and En-
gland, and then what will Great Britain bs
but federal republic like our own? Yes,
